JAKARTA - Indonesian women's doubles badminton player Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti is determined to revans or avenge defeat to Chinese pair Chen Qing Chen/Jia Yi Fan at the Denmark Open 2022 event at Odense.

The athlete, who was paired with Apriyani Rahayu, admitted that he was still curious about his ability to conquer the world's former number one pair in the BWF Super 750 level tournament.

"All opponents must be difficult, but the most curious is Chen/Jia because our pattern of play is almost the same. It is very interesting to beat them again," said Fadia, quoted from Antara, Friday.

Based on records from the Badminton World Federation (BWF) on its official website, Apri/Fadia have played three matches against Chen/Jia by winning one.

At the last meeting at the Japan Open 2022, September, the Indonesian representative was defeated by Chen/Jia with a rubber game 26-24, 16-21, 14-21 in the quarter-finals.

According to Fadia, the match against Chen/Jia had a different feeling when compared to other couples. Even in these three matches, the two couples always appear determined and are exciting.

He did not feel this when he met a partner from Japan who was known to be strong but used to playing with a slow rhythm.

"If they are against them, it will definitely feel different because they have to compete with a pattern. It's different if you meet Japanese players who play must be strong (power). If you are against China, you have to prepare a pattern, if Japan has to be ready to be tired," Fadia said.

Since appearing in Japan, Fadia and Apri have spent about a month practicing at the Cipayung National Training Center. He assessed that his training portion was maximal and ready to go to Europe to compete at the Denmark Open and French Open.

"The training is quite good because from Japan there is a decent pause for training. The shortcomings of Japan are fixed again so that they are ready in Denmark and France, if Hylo (Germany) does not participate," said Fadia explaining.
